About me: Let's keep it really real.. I was Frank Morell (and still am..).. I became the best rapper you've never heard of, "Tekniq".. Part of the Award-Winning, World's Famous BombShelta Association.. These days, I'm doing a lot of writing and producing including Canadian Idol winners Eva Avila and Melissa O'neil, and continue to do my thing ghostwriting for some of your favourite rappers all over the globe..
In addition, I am the founder and contributing partner to the "Fortune Tellahs", a newly formed world-class production team. We put in work with Carlito and made his project bump. Currently, we are working with the greatest female rapper in the world, EYEZ (check the friend's list) and a hot R&B female artist ready to blow, Candy Marie.
I've made some moves with nearly everyone in the Old Skool Toronto Hip-Hop scene, and am now global.. I work with Three different studios in the Toronto area and am always looking for new artists that are serious about their music. If you have the drive, the network, and the budget... Count on us to do it all for you.. Message me here if you wish..
